  yes, it's true, geoffrey jackson, the cleverest member of the governing body, is going apostate.. he's already written two scholarly books, the question is .... when is his third book going to be released!!.....

  desirousofchange: "faded" is definitely only an "apostate" term.

  i don't know of it being used by wt publications or "in the dark" jwsberrygerry: geoff jackson used it during the arc..

  Interesting. Does anyone know what condition his health is in?

  Perhaps being dragged through the ARC and his old, ailing Father who should have seen Armageddon arrive already, have been enough (among many other things that have gone on as of late) for him to have doubts.

  I've said it before and I'll say it again... with the many changes that this religion has seen over many decades, any long term JW has got to be scratching their heads and wondering. It would not surprise me if a lot have serious doubts.

  So the governing body is NOT inspired...are they still "spirit directed"?

  okay there has been lots of buzz about the feb 2017 wt where they say the governing body is not inspired nor infallible.

  yet, they are still using the baptism questions.

  the second one being... "do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of jehovah’s witnesses in association with god’s spirit-directedorganization?".

  If the GB are being directed by some kind of spirit, this is the only kind involved:

  so, this will be a time of much confusion.

  being a born in, and wanting to celebrate my first christmas is confusing, nerve wracking, and difficult to comprehend.

  how have others dealt with there first christmas after leaving?

  Excellent use of language in comments on this site compared with WT publications

  i think it's great.

  when i read posts on here i have to use a dictionary because of the high level of intellectual words yet, when i read a wtbts publication, i have to ignore all the bad grammar and punctuation!

  I guess the old adage "Know your audience" applies here.

  Agreed, although perhaps she doesn't expect Trump to read it but expects an advisor to. She certainly doesn't want any 35% tax levy. I wonder if we'll ever hear about the next phase of this.

  Trump is pretty busy right now with the transition. I wonder if he'll even have time to read it or have it read to him.

  Does Trump's taxation threat also apply to IBM Watson taking over real peoples' jobs? I wonder.

  ttdtt said: Trump does not like to read. He will just ask Steve Bannon to summarize it for him, and Steve will say - IBM says you are great and end Obamacare, medicaid, medicare, and end welfare. Also why not kill all the jews while we are at it.

  Yikes! Maybe she should have just tweeted him.

Hats off to this fine lady and the many more that will follow. My stocks in this company did not influence my comments at all(wink)

  Ha! "Please buy more stock" I think is what Ginni would say.

  She knows a lot more about computers and the new era of Cognitive than Donald Trump. But she is probably not going to be at IBM too much longer. She will be 5 years in the CEO role come Jan 2017. She also turns 60 next July. It seems IBM does not usually keep the same CEO much older than that.

  Stealth said: IBM builds all of their enterprise class storage servers in Mexico and Bulgaria.

  IBM is a 'global' company, embracing global resourcing. They have moved a lot of jobs off-shore from North America through continual 'Resource Actions' as part of the company's transformation. If another geography can do it cheaper, the work moves there. They aren't the only corporation doing this.

  Edited to add: I suspect Trump knows about this and wants it changed.

  sir82 said: Pfft.

  Trump will have someone google her picture, see that she is not a "10", and just ignore her.

  That wouldn't surprise me. I actually thought the same thing when I learned of the letter.

  However, I have never seen an IBM CEO do this... ever. Didn't the Donald threaten some companies with heavy taxation recently, including IBM?

  Edited to add: I wonder if the Donald knows what 'Cognitive' is?
